Congratulations on your work, which I'm currently testing.
You clearly deserve a drink or two ;-)
I'm just testing the integration and can't find a setting to limit the siren's duration and the number of repetitions.
Could you help me?
Thanks

Thank you for your interest in this project!
The suggested way of setting up a siren is:

1. Configure an action to turn on the siren when the alarm is triggered
2. Configure a second action to turn off the siren when the alarm is no longer triggered
3. Configure the trigger time for your alarm (this is done per arm mode) to the desired time you wish the siren to sound

At the moment, there is no support within Alarmo to set up multiple repetitions.

If you wish to do so, I recommend to create a script or automation in HA for doing this.
You can, for example, configure a repeating loop that turns on your siren, waits X seconds, and then turns it off. The loop could repeat while the alarm is triggered.
You can choose to either set it up as a script which is triggered via an action in Alarmo, or as a standalone automation that triggers itself based on state change of the alarm.

Note that the github issues pages are only intended for requesting new features or reporting bugs. For help on how to configure Alarmo, please use the HA forum.
